Is hbr an electrolyte?
No, hydrobromic acid (HBr) is not classified as an electrolyte because it primarily exists as a molecular compound rather than dissociating into ions in water, which is a characteristic of electrolytes.
How do you use shapes to predict molecular polarity?
if molecular shape is symmatrical then its non-polar but if it is non symmatrical then its polar.
How are polarity and molecular symmetry related?
The polarity of a molecule is influenced by its molecular symmetry. Symmetric molecules tend to be nonpolar because any charges or dipoles within the molecule are canceled out by symmetry, while asymmetric molecules are more likely to be polar due to unbalanced distributions of charges or dipoles. Overall, molecular symmetry affects the overall polarity of a molecule.
How does molecular shape effect polarity?
The molecular geometry of a compound helps to determine polarity because, it indicates the number of lone pairs on a central atom thus giving it specified angles and polarity (only if there are lone pairs because if there are no lone pairs on the central atom, them it is non-polar).
What is the molecular polarity of O2?
The bond in the molecule O2 is covalent.
